Atlas Copco is aiming its high performing HB3600 breaker at carriers in the 35-63tonne class. The firm claims that this hammer delivers 46% more performance for its weight than the average breaker in its size class while overall it offers 30% greater efficiency. This is a new breaker size designed to match the increasing diversity of carrier sizes and provide a better size and performance fit for carriers in the 26-63tonne class than existing models.
Atlas Copco says that its new HB3600 breaker is 30% more efficient than competing hammers of its size
The high power to weight ratio means that this breaker will provide the same work output of a larger unit from a competitor according to Atlas Copco. This means that a smaller excavator can be used, cutting initial investment and running costs. An efficient energy recovery system increases output power, without increasing the hydraulic input during peak periods. The breaker also features Atlas Copco's proven PowerAdapt, StartSelect and AutoControl, ContiLube II, DustProtector II and VibroSilenced systems, which combine to improve performance in all operating conditions, reduce wear and tear and cut noise output.
